Parts That Fix Kenmore Dryer 11067132411 Touchpad does not respond
This dryer thermistor is a genuine replacement component designed to monitor and regulate internal temperature in Whirlpool dryers. Mounted on the blower housing, it plays a critical role in controlling the heating element by adjusting resistance as temperatures rise, signaling the control board to maintain safe and efficient drying conditions. A malfunctioning thermistor can result in symptoms such as no heat, overheating, premature cycle termination, or failure to start. It may also trigger fault codes like F-22, F-23, E1, or E2. Replacing the thermistor restores proper temperature regulation, protects the appliance from damage, and improves drying performance. Installation should be performed with the dryer unplugged and may require basic tools.
The heating element (Flat Can Heating Element 5400W, Heating Element, Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element, Dryer Heating Element) provides heat to the dryer. It is metal and measures 10.5 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, 2 inches deep. The element attaches to the heater housing. This part can break as a result of wear and tear. This can be material fatigue or prolonged high temperature exposure. If broken your clothes may not dry because of a lack of heat. It must be replaced when there is no longer continuity between the terminals. First check the thermal fuse on the blower housing before deciding to replace the heating element.
